Well Dweller 🐦‍⬛🪶 Great metroidvania as expected from Kyle Thompson (Sheepo, Islets, Crypt Custodian).
Just wish the game would let me swap jump from A to B without breaking the game (B somehow becomes both A and B at the same time which softlocks you in the title screen and as far as i know the only fix is to delete the save file in data managment).

I also looked through my backlog and made a list of halloweeny/horror type games to play in October but i started it a bit early with Stories Untold. Only 1 episode left. Creepy and great game.

Got my copy of Fire Emblem today so i'll spend a lot of time on that.

I'm also about halfway through Judero so i'll try to beat it. Never been to Scotland but i assume it's just like in Judero

Going to Snaktooth Island to rediscover it's Bugsnax

Started Blood of Dawnwalker yesterday and i'm really loving it.

Unfortunately i'm working double shifts this weekend, but i'll try to get some playtime into Angeline Era and/or FF VIII inbetween

Hopefully beating Soul Reaver 2. It's fine but not as good as the first one.

Started Virtual boy Wario Land on the recent Mister fpga Virtual boy core.
Tried it on switch 2 with a third party headset, but i just couldn't play it like that for more than 5 minutes.
Playing it on a tv is great 👍

Jut got to the Crimson Flower route of Fire Emblem Three Houses. Played all other routes and wanted to beat them all before the next FE game releases. But i also planned to do that before Engage released...

Will finish my replay of Mgs Twin snakes tomorrow after work.
I played Ghost Babel a couple years ago and don't feel the need to replay it just jet but i'm not sure if i'll play 4 or Peace Walker first when volume 2 comes out next week.

Beat Timespinner last night. A short and sweet metroidvania.

Now i can focus on the Metroid Prime demake Origins.
Played about an hour of it earlier in the week and it's great so far!

Been replaying Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes on gamecube. A fun and at times very dumb (in a good way) remake.

On Switch i'll play some Soul Reaver 2

Halfway through Ninja Gaiden ragebound. Will try to finish it today. Might start Windswept afterwards.

Started Unicorn Overlord last night.

Might finish Kirby 64 today while passing out on the exercise-bike 🥵

Been in a 3ds mood this week. Started Majora 3d for the first time. Only played the n64 version.

At the end of Star Fox 64 3D. Never played through that version before.

Also replaying Fire Emblem Awakening for the first time since Fates came out so it's been a while.

Desperately trying to catch the 3 fish i'm missing in Cattle Country.
Got married to jane and she thinks she's helping around the farm but in reality she's slow and constantly in the way when i'm harvesting crops.

When i need to get a break from the farm life i'll be playing Bat Boy

I'm deep down in Cattle Country. Deep in the mines. Ignoring my neighbors for the most part.
A shameless Stardew clone with it's own western spin, and it's great.

Might beat Gex 3 on ps1 as well and started Breath of Fire IV a few days ago.

The Star Fox remake made me wanna play more Star Fox so i started to play Star Fox Adventures again. Been about 15 years since i first beat it. It's fun!
It should have stayed as Dinosaur Planet instead of a Star Fox game, but still fun.

Thinking of playing some NES games as well. Maybe Shatterhand and/or Panic Restaurant on my MiSTer fpga.

Currently my top 5 would be:

1. Mina the Hollower
2. Resident Evil 9
3. Minishoot adventures (released a couple years ago on pc but whatever)
4. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book
5. Escape from Ever After

Will probably beat Adventures of Elliot this weekend.

It's been a great year for top down zelda-likes 2026 so far.
Under the Island, Minishoot Adventures, Elementallis, Mina the hollower and now Elliot.

Looking forward to playing Judero afterwards

Just beat Mina the Hollower this morning. Fantastic game!

I've been trying to play through Metal Slug Tactics but had to bail on it. Not a bad game (bad switch port) but it's not for me.

Adventures of Elliot is probably next. Really liked the demo.

A good grip, screen protector and a good controller (either nintendo pro, 8bitdo pro 3 or ultimate 2)

Mina the hollower, grapple dogs and might start Final Fantasy 8 when i go on holiday next week.

I did play a bit of Mario and Luigi Brothership but it got too boring for me so i bailed on that.
Had the same problem with Dream team when that released. Only ever tried those two.

Love the traditional turn based paper mario's but M&L is something else.
Maybe i should start with the first one on my Analogue pocket and see if that keeps me interested.

Picking up junk and commiting crimes in Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip

@TYRANACLES
I spent A LOT of time in Nightfire's multiplayer. I replayed the single player a couple of years ago and i think it really holds up. Sadly Everything or Nothing, while fun, don't hold up as much. Beat it last night.

I had Goldeneye Rogue Agent as a kid and while it's not as good as the other ones in that generation it's fun.

Getting ready for First Light by replaying 007 Everything or nothing.
Loved it back in the day. I still really like the regular levels, but all the different driving levels just annoy me so far.

Close to the end of Elementallis. The game get's better the more i play it. Great top down Zelda-like

@sketchturner
I'm 3 dungeons in so far and i'm enjoying it. Feels like a modern link's awakening but with a bit less polish and the story's not that interesting, at least from what i've played.

I really like the element system where the dungeon item is a new element that are used in classic zelda ways.

Progression is linear but it does not hold your hand, you'll have to find the correct path yourself. You can explore and upgrade health, magic and items.

Day one!
I should be able to beat Elementallis before that

Discounty. There's a lot of drama in the town of Blomkest

Recently been replaying both Resident Evil 4 original and remake back to back, chapter to chapter to see which i prefer.
It's been really fun seeing how similar yet different they are at times.
About halfway through the castle. They're both great but so far i still prefer the pacing and level design of the original.

Will try to beat Planet of Lana 2 this weekend. Started it when it launched and it's been fun but it never hooked me like the first one did.

Finally beat DQ7 Reimagined. Overall i enjoyed it but it's definitively the weaker one compared to the others i've played (3 HD2D, 8 and 11).

Decided my next turn based game will be Fuga 2 which i played an hour of a while ago then put on hold for other games.

Kinda burned out with Pokopia, but i'll probably play through it more bitesized. Just started Rocky Ridges

It's time for either Gex 3 or Ruffy and the Riverside!
Been playing too much DQ 7 reimagined and Pokopia lately and need some 3d platforming.

Litteraly just completed Doki Doki Panic for the first time. Played mario 2 snes version tons of times since childhood and the nes/gba versions a few times but never the original game before now.

Took me a while to adjust to no running in this version.
The game forcing you to beat the game with every character was actually pretty fun. You can still use the warp pipes but i played through all levels with all characters.

Mario 2 is an improvement but Doki Doki Panic is still great!

Now i can get back to Planet of Lana 2, DQ 7 and might replay Panzer Paladin with a buddy.

Beat Resident Evil 9 last night and absolutely loved it! Although i'm not sure it will be as replayable as RE 4 original and RE 2 remake, which are my favorites.

Since that's done i can continue my playthroughs of Under the Island, Minishoot Adventures and Planet of Lana 2.

Been in a N64 mood this week.
87 🍌 into DK64 so far playing the Tag anywhere romhack (because i respect my time). Been really enjoying it. Probably won't complete it but i'll get what i feel is enough then finish it.

I've also played bits of other n64 games too know which one to add to my list.
So Kirby 64, the bomberman 64 games and goemon's great adventure will be played at a later point.

I remember playing a bit of zelda botw in vr using the Playstation VR 1.
Was hoping this would work with the virtual boy games as well but i guess not since it's handheld mode only

Beat it last weekend. My favorite paper mario without mario in it. I also really liked Bug Fables and enjoyed Born of Bread but this one's better imo.

Getting close to the end of Dark Deity 2. A good Fire Emblem clone.

At the Labyrinth part of Stray Children. It made my brain melt so i'll return with better focus.
The game might have my favorite art style ever competing with Wind Waker and Ufouria The Saga 2.

Beat Shanta Risky Revolution a few days ago and think i'll start Shinobi Art of Vengeance today.

I'm also about halfway through Escape from Ever After. Really enjoying it. Not as much as i loved Bug Fables but a bit more than Born of Bread.

I also can't stop playing Suika Game Planet

FF VII Rising: Revengeance

Beat "Astronite" last night. If you like metroidvanias and "1bit" artstyles like in "Minit" and "Master Key" then play this game. It's great!

I also got my limited run orders yesterday so i'll be playing "Shantae Risky Revolution" finally.

I was planning on playing more of "Dark Deity 2" but i had no idea the paper mario inspired "Escape from ever after" released yesterday. So that will be my rpg for the next week probably.

Just managed to get the true ending of Octopath Traveler 0 before this work weekend started. These games just get better and better!

Will try to get some suika game planet and dark deity 2 inbetween work.

Hades 2, Tomb Raider 1-3 remastered collection (played 2 and 3 last year) and Two Point Hospital are my most played. All around 55-60 hours.

Had Octopath Traveler 0 released a couple months earlier it would have crushed my top 3.

Among new switch 1/2 games my favorite is Hades 2, but i think the best game i played last year is either Gravity Circuit or Unsighted

Been playing a lot of the new Suika game. Love it!

Might beat Monkey Ball Banana Mania this weekend unless it get's too frustrating.

About 50 hours into Octopath Traveler 0. I hope to beat it before DQ 7 Reimagined. Played the demo and really loved it but can't play two looong rpg's at the same time.

Just started Monkey Ball Banana Mania which is always a great time 🐒🌐

Played a fair bit of Fading Afternoon which i really want to enjoy buy just like with Yakuza i just can't bother with the beatemup combat. Seems like they're both great games but not for me.

Been on a ps2 kick this week. Played a bit of Oni and about halfway through GTA Vice City Stories. Really need to upgrade to a better fan. It's so loud! ✈️

Wanted to play something i've never played, yet nostalgic and something i could have gotten for christmas when i was a kid. So i started to play the ps1 version of Gex 2 on mister fpga. Really like it so far.
Beat the first one on switch a few weeks ago.

Right now i'm almost finished with Schim, a fun, small game where you're jumping from shadow to shadow kinda like a squid in Splatoon.

Been sick with the flu since tuesday and when i'm feeling well enough to play something it's mostly been Octopath Traveler Zero and Once upon a Katamari.

Yesterday i randomly decided to play through Gremlins 2 on nes which was great. Never watched the movies before but watched 1 last night and probably the sequel tonight.

I feel the need to play more 8 or 16 bit games so i think it's time to finally play wacky races on nes or 007 james bond on game boy

Currently trying to wrap up the last few levels in Nintendo world championships on Switch. Been enjoying it much more than i expected when i got a physical copy on sale recently.

Still playing Prime 4 and Octopath 0. Will probably beat Prime next week. Thinking which metroidvania i'll play afterwards. Either continue my Silksong playthrough (been on hold since october) or start Laika.

Both Prime 4 and Octopath 0.

I'll also try to get some more time in Stray Children which is a spiritual sequel to Moon, which inspired Undertale, which inspired Stray Children. The pacifist style of combat is interesting but feels too slow and tedious compared to Undertale but is still fun so far.

I've also been playing Yakuza 0 on and off last couple of months. It's my first Yakuza game and i don't quite know how i feel about it. I love the world and the humour but on the other hand the gameplay and combat put's me to sleep.
I'm gonna give it more time but i don't see myself playing all yakuza games in this style, but i need to try the more RPG ones like "Like a Dragon"

Getting close to beating The Pedestrian. My brain is melted. Great puzzle platformer.

Still playing Hades 2 and just bought PVZ Replanted.

Randomly started to play Moon Remix RPG 🌛 last week and beat it a few days ago. Loved it! Did some research on it afterwards and found out they released a spiritual sequel just last month! So i'll be playing Stray Children a lot this weekend along with more Hades 2

I'm a few hours into Lunar 1 and will try to beat it before Octopath Traveler 0 releases in december. Played through the prologue demo and i'm really looking forward to it.

Last couple of days i finally got hooked into Hades 2. Played it every once in a while since it released but put it on the side for other games. Things are opening up and incantations brewing.

Currently transfering games to my PS2 HDD so i might also play some Chulip or Conflict Desert Storm

Just was at a record fair. Didn't find any game soundtracks unfortunately but got a couple james bond soundtracks and a judas priest album. Daniel Craig's face is currently spinning around on my record player.

Games wise i picked Dave the diver up again since the S2 update is finally out. Just got Crow Country and Antonblast so i'll probably start one of those this weekend.

Running around Tomb Raider 3's London mazes.
When that stresses me out too much i play some Unpacking but i hope to beat TR3 by next week.
Just got my physical of 4-6 but need a break inbetween 3 and 4.

Very close to beating both Buddy Simulator 1984 and Ball x Pit.
Buddy is a scary computer and really makes me feel bad for ignoring their directions.

Afterwards i'll continue with Tomb Raider 3 and Hades 2
